An efficient simulation technique was proposed to examine the thermal-fluid structure interaction in the effects of solder temperature on pin through-hole during wave soldering. This study investigated the capillary flow behavior as well as the displacement, temperature distribution, and von Mises stress of a pin passed through a solder material. A single pin through-hole connector mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) was simulated using a 3D model solved by FLUENT. The ABAQUS solver was employed to analyze the pin structure at solder temperatures of 456.15 K (183°C) <T< 643.15 K (370°C). Both solvers were coupled by the real time coupling software and mesh-based parallel code coupling interface during analysis. In addition, an experiment was conducted to measure the temperature difference (ΔT) between the top and the bottom of the pin. Analysis results showed that an increase in temperature increased the structural displacement and the von Mises stress. Filling time exhibited a quadratic relationship to the increment of temperature. The deformation of pin showed a linear correlation to the temperature. TheΔTobtained from the simulation and the experimental method were validated. This study elucidates and clearly illustrates wave soldering for engineers in the PCB assembly industry.

An effective simulation approach is introduced in this paper to study the thermal fluid-structure interaction (thermal FSI) on the effect of pin-through-hole (PTH) diameter on the wave soldering zone. A 3D single PTH connector and a printed circuit board model were constructed to investigate the capillary flow behavior when passing through molten solder (63SnPb37). In the analysis, the fluid solver FLUENT was used to solve and track the molten solder advancement using the volume of fluid technique. The structural solver ABAQUS was used to examine the von Mises stress and displacement of the PTH connector in the wave soldering process. Both solvers were coupled by MpCCI software. The effects of six different diameter ratios (0.1 < d/ D < 0.97) were studied through a simulation modeling. The use of ratio d/ D = 0.2 yielded a balanced filling profile and low thermal stress. Results revealed that filling level, temperature, and displacement exhibited polynomial behavior to d/ D. Stress of pin varied quadratically with the d/ D. The predicted molten solder profile was validated by experimental results. The simulation results are expected to provide better visualization and understanding of the wave soldering process by considering the aspects of thermal FSI.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the numerical fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework for the simulations of mechanical behavior of new vortex generators (VGs) in smooth wavy fin-and-elliptical tube (SWFET) heat exchanger using the ANSYS MFX Multi-field® solver. Design/methodology/approach A three-dimensional FSI approach is proposed in this paper to provide better understanding of the performance of the VG structures in SWFET heat exchangers associated with the alloy material properties and geometric factors. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model are applied for modeling of the turbulent flow in SWFET heat exchanger and the linear elastic Cauchy-Navier model is solved for the structural von Mises stress and elastic strain analysis in the VGs region. Findings Parametric studies conducted in the course of this research successfully identified illustrate that the maximum magnitude of von Mises stress and elastic strain occurs at the root of the VGs and depends on geometrical parameters and material types. These results reveal that the titanium alloy VGs shows a slightly higher strength and lower elastic strain compared to the aluminum alloy VGs. Originality/value This paper is one of the first in the literature that provides original information mechanical behavior of a SWFET heat exchanger model with new VGs in the field of FSI coupling technique.

In this paper the fluid structure interaction in stentless aortic heart valve during acceleration phase was performed successfully using the commercial ANSYS/CFX package. The aim is to provide unidirectional coupling FSI analysis of physiological blood flow within an anatomically corrected numerical model of stentless aortic valve. Pulsatile, Newtonian, and turbulent blood flow rheology at aortic level was applied to fluid domain. The proposed structural prosthesis had a novel multi thickness leaflet design decreased from aortic root down to free age surface. An appropriate interpolation scheme used to import the fluid pressure on the structure at their interface. The prosthesis deformations over the acceleration time showed bending dominant characteristic at early stages of the cardiac cycle. More stretching and flattening observed in the rest of the times steps. The multi axial Von Mises stress data analysis was validated with experimental data which confirmed the initial design of the prosthesis.

The aerodynamic and mechanical performance of the last stage was numerically investigated using three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solution and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) coupled with the one-way and two-way fluid-structure interaction models in this work. The part-span damping snubber and tip damping shroud of the rotor blade and aerodynamic pressure on rotor blade mechanical performance was considered in the one-way model. The two-way fluid-structure interaction model coupled with the mesh deformation technology was conducted to analyze the aerodynamic and mechanical performance of the last stage rotor blade. One-way fluid-structure interaction model numerical results show that the location of nodal maximum displacement moves from leading edge of 85% blade span to the trailing edge of 85% blade span. The position of nodal maximum Von Mises stress is still located at the first tooth upper surface near the leading edge at the blade root of pressure side. The two-way fluid-structure interaction model results show that the variation of static pressure distribution on long blade surface is mostly concentrated at upper region, absolute outflow angle of long blade between the 40% span and 95% span reduces, the location of nodal maximum displacement appears at the trailing edge of 85% blade span. Furthermore, the position of nodal maximum Von Mises stress remains the same and the value decreases compared to the oneway fluid-structure model results.

To achieve high fuel efficiency, vehicles designs are inclined to choose lightweight materials and structures. However, these structures are generally weak, and structural integrity is a common concern. The purpose of this paper is to carry out fluid-structure interaction (FSI) study in one-way coupling analysis on a Shell Eco Marathon (SEM) prototype car which travels in a low-speed range to analyse its structural response. A new set of economical materials is proposed and analysed with the concern on self-fabrication process. The Flax fibre composite is introduced as a part of the proposed material set due to its environmental and economic advantages. The study herein is purely a numerical simulation work as a first approach to design a sustainable SEM prototype car. The fully assembled SEM prototype car was analysed with the proposed materials with ANSYS Workbench in the coupling of the fluid (ANSYS Fluent) and structural solver (ANSYS Mechanical) in a one-way FSI. Even with a thin shell design, the proposed material only experiences minimum deformations. The simulations also reveal that the maximum von-Mises stress experienced, after considered the safety factor, is still several order lower than the yield strength. This study has confirmed that the car design has fulfilled its structural requirements to operate at the design speed.

Prosthetic aortic valves have been used for the replacement of dysfunctional native aortic valves in humans for more than fifty years. Current prosthetic valves have significant limitations and the development of improved aortic valve prostheses remains an important research focus area. This paper investigates one of the newer additions to the family of replacement valves, namely the stented percutaneous valve. An important design aspect of stented percutaneous valves, is the configuration of the leaflet's attachment to the surrounding stent. There are essentially two possible configurations: The first method is attaching the leaflets in a straight configuration, and the second method is to attach the leaflets in a curved configuration. Finite element models of both configurations were created, and the behavior of these configurations was then studied using a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation. The FSI simulation was validated by means of comparing simulation results to actual measurements from a pulse duplicator using prototype valves of both configurations. The FSI results showed no significant difference between the valves' opening and closing behaviors. The von Mises stress distributions proved to be the largest differentiating and decisive factor between the two valves. The FSI simulations did however show that the leaflets that are attached in the straight configuration form folds that resembles that of the curved configuration as well as the native valve, but to a larger scale. The effect that these folds might have on valve tissue fatigue leaves room for future investigation.

Predicting the dynamic response of a floating and submerged structure subjected to underwater explosion is greatly complicated by the explosion of a high explosive, propagation of shock wave, bubble-pulse, complex fluid-structure interaction phenomena and the dynamic behavior of the floating structures. A numerical simulation has been carried out to examine the behavior of elliptical submersible pressure hull to non-contact underwater explosion (UNDEX) and take the effect of bubble-pulse. The finite element package ABAQUS was used to model the UNDEX and the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomena. The pressure wave resulting from an UNDEX was assumed to be a spherical wave. Plastic strain and the time histories of the wet-surface displacement, velocity and von Mises stress are presented. The analytical results are valuable for designing underwater vehicles to resist UNDEX.

Unshrouded industrial centrifugal compressor impellers operate at high rotational speeds and volume flow rates. Under such conditions, the main impeller blade excitation is dominated by high frequency interaction with stationary parts, i.e., vaned diffusers or inlet guide vanes (IGVs). However, at severe part load operating conditions, sub-synchronous rotating flow phenomena (rotating stall) can occur and cause resonant blade vibration with significant dynamic (von-Mises) stress in the impeller blades. To ensure high aerodynamic performance and mechanical integrity, part load conditions must be taken into account in the aeromechanical design process via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element method (FEM) analyzes anchored by experimental verification. The experimental description and quantification of unsteady interaction between rotating stall cells and an unshrouded centrifugal compression stage in two different full scale compression units by Jenny and Bidaut (“Experimental Determination of Mechanical Stress Induced by Rotating Stall in Unshrouded Impellers of Centrifugal Compressors”, ASME J. Turbomach. 2016; 139(3):031011-031011-10) were reproduced in a scaled model test facility to enhance the understanding of the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) mechanisms and to improve design guide lines. Measurements with strain gauges and time-resolved pressure transducers on the stationary and rotating parts at different positions identified similar rotating stall patterns and induced stress levels. Rotating stall cell induced resonant blade vibration was discovered for severe off-design operating conditions and the measured induced dynamic von-Mises stress peaked at 15% of the mechanical endurance limit of the impeller material. Unsteady full annulus CFD simulations predicted the same rotating stall pressure fluctuations as the measurements. The unsteady Reynold's Averaged Navier-Stokes simulations were then used in FEM FSI analyses to predict the stress induced by rotating stall and assess the aerodynamic damping of the corresponding impeller vibration mode shape. Excellent agreement with the measurements was obtained for the stall cell pressure amplitudes at various locations. The relative difference between measured and mean predicted stress from fluid–structure interaction was 17% when resonant blade vibration occurred. The computed aerodynamic damping was 27% higher compared to the measurement.

Abstract A fluid–structure interaction-based biomechanical model of the entire left anterior descending coronary artery is developed from in vivo imaging via the finite element method in this paper. Included in this investigation is ventricle contraction, three-dimensional motion, all angiographically visible side branches, hyper/viscoelastic artery layers, non-Newtonian and pulsatile blood flow, and the out-of-phase nature of blood velocity and pressure. The fluid–structure interaction model is based on in vivo angiography of an elite athlete's entire left anterior descending coronary artery where the influence of including all alternating side branches and the dynamical contraction of the ventricle is investigated for the first time. Results show the omission of side branches result in a 350% increase in peak wall shear stress and a 54% decrease in von Mises stress. Peak von Mises stress is underestimated by up to 80% when excluding ventricle contraction and further alterations in oscillatory shear indices are seen, which provide an indication of flow reversal and has been linked to atherosclerosis localization. Animations of key results are also provided within a video abstract. We anticipate that this model and results can be used as a basis for our understanding of the interaction between coronary and myocardium biomechanics. It is hoped that further investigations could include the passive and active components of the myocardium to further replicate in vivo mechanics and lead to an understanding of the influence of cardiac abnormalities, such as arrythmia, on coronary biomechanical responses.
